Thanks guys. Maybe I’m being a little too nostalgic. I only need to find out what’s on the tapes to be honest and not looking to record.
I just need to find a studio that does this type of work here in sunny Bedfordshire
Oh dear! I've been looking on ebay and there are a couple of Fostex R8's both sellers have not tested tapes in them. Do you know if the maintenance is easy enough for an amateur and are parts easy to get?
Hi guys,
sounds to me like a silly question but that just might be my inexperience.
I have some old tapes that were recorded on a Fostex R8.
I would love to digitise them.
Would I need an 8 track machine (15ips) or would a 2 or 4 track machine do the job?
